Avatar f tn The fetal heart undergoes a considerable amount of growth very early in pregnancy. The most critical period of its development is between three and seven weeks after fertilization, when a simple heart tube assumes the shape of a four-chambered heart. In fact, the heart actually begins beating by the 22nd day of life.
935426 tn?1244779980 Hello, I am wondering if anyone has heard of a fetal heart "pointing in the wrong direction." Well, those are the words our OB/GYN used. He said that all aspects of the heart seem to be fine -- though it appeared to be that the heart was pointing to the right . . . I think that's what he said. He said he "just wanted to be sure" and has set an appointment up for us with another physician to get a second opinion. I am quite perplexed by this.
Avatar f tn If she was very young at the time it occurred and the amount of force he used could have damaged her reproductive organs. Now if she still has all of her reproductive organs and she is having unprotected sex and thinking there is no way she can get pregnant just off of thought she can't get pregnant may be risky as she still has her reproductive organs and anything is possible.
Avatar f tn No its not especially in the first trimester. Rapid development of babies major organs, brain and spinal cord happen in the first trimester. I hear some women have a small glass while pregnant personally I wouldnt but if you were to you should wait at least until the middle of the second trimester. Ask your doctor. It is currently not recommended that any alcohol be taken in while pregnant since FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) is not completely understood on when and how it all happens.
Avatar f tn Hi, i would agree with the pharmacist but if you are having pelvic pain, see a doctor.
Avatar n tn PID develops when bacteria (germs) get into a woman’s internal reproductive organs. There are a number of ways this can happen. The internal organs are usually protected by the cervix, which blocks bacteria in the vagina from moving up into the womb. But when the cervix is open (e.g. during menstruation or at ovulation), or if the cervix itself becomes infected, bacteria have a greater chance of getting through and causing infection.
Avatar f tn s highly advised that melatonin should be AVOIDED as out may affect reproductive development, and the fetal sleep/wake cycle. http://www. livestrong .
Avatar n tn The brain contains pockets or spaces called ventricles with a spongy layer of cells and blood vessels called the choroid plexus. This is in the middle of the fetal brain. The choroid plexus has the important function of producing a fluid called cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid produced by the cells of the choroid plexus fills the ventricles and then flows around the brain and the spinal cord to provide a cushion of fluid around these structures.
Avatar m tn If you have had long-standing hemorrhoids, you will need to rule out the possibility that an older infection could have caused alterations in blood supply to the reproductive organs. Men with hemorrhoids can develop conditions called the levator ani syndrome or proctalgia fugax. Either condition can cause alterations in the function of the perineal muscles.
Avatar f tn I personally think it's selfish and foolish to drink during pregnancy. Your putting your baby's health at risk and fetal development during the first trimester is crucial. Any alcohol use during pregnancy can result in a child being born with FASD. To me it's not worth the risks.

Avatar f tn In fact, a number of studies have shown that Vitamin D has a direct impact on the reproductive organs in both men and women. In men, it works to help produce more testosterone, the hormone responsible for making sperm. In women, vitamin D works directly on the ovaries, helping to regulate how estrogen is used to help egg follicles mature and grow. Vitamin D also appears to play a role in how estrogen acts in the uterus, particularly in regard to development of the lining.
Avatar f tn What are the symptoms of damage to the female reproductive organs that has nothing to do with an std, more like physical damage from the outside? is that possible?
Avatar n tn abdominal x-rays, arteriograms, barium enemas, body CAT scans and x-rays of the genitourinary organs. So if you had dental x-rays, then the area of exposure of the beams is limited. Also you have not mentioned whether you were wearing any lead shield or not. If you were wearing a lead shield at that time, then chances of exposure are significantly reduced. But if you were not wearing any lead shields, then chances of negligible exposure is there.
Avatar m tn a drug or other substance capable of interfering with the development of a fetus, causing birth defects.

Avatar m tn C harm her chances of future conception or damage any reproductive organs etc. Cause we really want her to get pregnant on her own. Please advise.
Avatar f tn if someone was to apply large amounts of pressure on your hips on both sides and in the front and back could that squish your pelvic bone and damage a females reproductive organs. Over the last 8 months or so I've been around some people that have been hitting me in the hip area and squeezing me in my hip bone.
Avatar f tn During development of the male reproductive organs the testes descend from the abdomen into the scrotum just before birth and the tract is closed thus preventing the testes to ascend back into the abdomen. But at times this tract does not close or approximate well which can lead to the condition described by you. This condition is known as ascended testis. Some patients have a patent fold of peritoneum through which the testis goes up. The condition is rare and very few cases are reported.
